Wander the length of the train to enjoy unique panelling, original features and intricate upholstery, and experience the magic of vintage travel for yourself. The Belmond British Pullman luxury train embodies everything that was fabulous about the roaring 20s and 30s.

In the late 17th century, Benedictine monk Dom Thierry Ruinart learned of a new “wine with bubbles” popular in Paris that he believed could have a promising future if made in the vineyards of Champagne, and in 1729 his nephew Nicolas Ruinart founded the first-ever champagne maison.

Ruinart, the “Jewel of Champagne,” benefits from a long heritage of forward-thinkers, with the Ruinart family expressing the best of chardonnay for over two centuries. Symbolic of timeless elegance and refinement, this noble champagne inspires desire throughout the world. .

Cellar master Frédéric Panaïotis has perfected the ageing time: from three years for non-vintage champagnes and more than 10 years for Dom Ruinart. The maison cellars its champagnes in grandiose Gallo-Roman chalk mines – a UNESCO-classified site since 2015.
